In a preferred embodiment, a slot 4 is opened in the handle 1 along a longitudinal direction of the handle, and the toothpick 2 is placed in the slot 4 along the longitudinal direction of the handle. The slot 4 may be designed into a shape the same as an outline of the toothpick 2.

In a preferred embodiment, the slot 4 is opened at a bottom surface of the handle 1, which can enable the tableware to keep nice.

In another preferred embodiment, the slot 4 is opened in the handle 1 as a through hole, that is, the slot 4 runs through the handle 1. In this way, the toothpick 2 can be taken out more easily, and the material of the handle can be saved.

As shown in FIG. 1, in a preferred embodiment, the toothpick 2 includes a sharp portion, an extending portion and a tail portion that are integrally formed. The tail portion has a smaller longitudinal dimension and a larger transverse dimension than the extending portion, and the structure 3 which is easy to be broken off is connected between the tail portion and the handle 1. More preferably, the structure which is easy to be broken off includes at least three strips, and the toothpick 2 is connected to the handle 1 through at least one strip at a top end and two sides of the tail portion respectively.

The handle 1, the structure 3 which is easy to be broken off, and the toothpick 2 may be integrally formed with the same material. The adopted material includes, but is not limited to, plastic, metal, and wood.

Alternatively, the handle 1 and the toothpick 2 adopt the same or different materials, for example, a certain kind of plastic is adopted. The structure 3 which is easy to be broken off adopts other material, such as glue.

The tableware may be a spoon, a knife or a fork, or a combination tool of any two, and the combination tool is, for example, a spoon with a fork.
